GOLiJ -LEAF EQQK.

No, sewn.

Be it known that I, ROBERT HENKE, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gold-Leaf Books, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to'im'proved means of securing gold leaves to the sheets of a tissue-paper book in a quick, simple, and effective manner.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a gold-leatbook con structed according to my invention. Fig. 2 represents one side of one of the book-leaves. Fig. 3 represents the reverse side of said leaf, and Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic section illustrating the method of making the book.

- My improved gold-leaf book consists of a number of sheets or leaves of tissue-paper c,

I bound at thcrback, as at c, to form a book,

between each two sheets (1 a gold-leaf e and a "transfersheet of ocher paper f, Fig. 4, powdered on both sides. The book thus charged is subjected to the action of a press, the pressure serving to attach the gold-leaf to one side of the tissue-paper and also to transfer some of the ocher powder from the back oi'the transfer-sheet to the op osite sheet of tissuepaper. As the front oi the transfer-sheet is also powdered, the pressure will, however, not cause the gold-leaf to become attached to the transfensheet. After the pressure has been applied for a short time the-book is taken out of the press and the transfer-sheets are re moved.

What I claim is r The method of making a gold-leaf. bobk which consists in bindin a numb'hr of leaves of tissue-paper into a hook, interposing i a gold-leaf and a sheet of transfer-paperipowdered on both sides between each PaII Of tissue-leaves, subjecting the book to pressure, and then removing the transfer-sheets, substantially as specified.
